Mairbek Taisumov to explore free agency, but open to re-signing with the UFC

BAD MMA News — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 18:59:35 +0000

Mairbek Taisumov ’s UFC contract is up, and he will look to test free agency. Russian lightweight Taisumov (27-6 MMA, 7-2 UFC) tore through much of his competition to become one of the most exciting rising prospects on the UFC’s roster. He went on a six-fight unbeaten run with five finishes, but in the final fight of his contract at UFC 242 this past September, he dropped a unanimous decision to Carlos Diego Ferreira. Not ruling out a return to the octagon, Taisumov, who’s been plagued with visa issues during his tenure, also will look at the possibility of a potential new home.

MOSCOW – Rustam Khabilov would like to shut up top UFC lightweight Kevin Lee , who’s gone a few rounds with him in the media. But unless Lee (17-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) is willing to travel outside the U.S. to fight, it’s not going to happen. “This is not a problem,” Khabilov told reporters about a potential fight with the top lightweight contender. “The problem is I don’t have a visa.” Like fellow Russian lightweight Mairbek Taisumov , Khabilov (23-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) has been unable to get permission to travel to the U.S
